Guiding Universities in Demonstrating Empathy (GUIDE) Training with Wellness and Prevention Services
About This Event
218 College Street, Boone, NC 28608
Guiding Universities in Demonstrating Empathy (GUIDE) is a skills-based training intended to empower faculty and staff to create environments where students feel comfortable disclosing needs that colleges and universities are already well-positioned to support.
For college faculty and staff who want to support student well-being without sacrificing their own, GUIDE empowers educators to conduct effective student support conversations — and to identify and engage the appropriate college services when needed. GUIDE training will be led by a faculty or staff member on your campus who has met the requirements to be a GUIDE-certified trainer.
Participants will:
- Learn how to identify & contextualize student needs.
- Participate in an iterative, supportive feedback process designed to prepare you for your next student interaction.
- Test, explore, and refine empathic communication skills.
- Learn how to integrate GUIDE into your class and work with students.
